buttercream and sprinkles make everything twinkle

Category: .:salty goodies:.

for as long as i can remember every year on Christmas morning my mom has made sausage balls and cheese grits for breakfast. so today i’m sharing this simple recipe that works for breakfast, a Christmas get together, or just a yummy snack!

i don’t know about you, but typically when i think of Christmas goodies, i tend to think of sweets. however, while i do love sweets, i also love salty little treats. a couple of months ago i came across these homemade-ish pretzel bites on {you guessed it} Pinterest. and, boy, are they yummy. i personally like a salty pretzel over a sweet pretzel, but you can make these fellas salty or sweet.

what you’ll need:

1 bag frozen Rhodes dinner rolls, thawed

sea salt or garlic salt

or

cinnamon and sugar

directions:

1. thaw dough and then cut into four pieces

2. place dough bites onto parchment lined cookies sheet and let rise

3. once your dough bites are double in size, bring a large
pot of water to a boil

4. preheat oven to 375 degrees

5. place kitchen towel on cookie sheet and cover with paper towel

6. drop about 10 dough bites into the water for about 45 seconds, toss gently making sure all sides are shocked in the water

{sorry for the crummy photo. it’s hard to get a picture of boiling water when the only thing you know how to take a picture with is your iPhone}

7. remove bites from water with slotted spoon and place on paper towel to drain

8. at this point you dough bites are going to look a little pruney and be kinda sticky.

9. let bites cool on paper towel for about 2-3 minutes or until you can touch them

10. place on greased cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown

11. once out of the oven butter generously with melted butter and sprinkle on some sea salt or garlic salt. or if you want them sweet roll in cinnamon sugar mix.

enjoy!

.:about me:.

i like to wear flip-flops all year long.
pajamas are my best friend.
and nothing beats a good pair of blue jeans.
i'm not an elegant writer.
but i can talk the ears off a brass monkey.
i smile a lot.
smiling is my favorite.
and yes, one of my favorite movies is Elf.
my favorite color may be pink.
and i might like to sing in the shower,
even though i can't carry a tune in a bucket.
i can't help that i like some really bad 80's music,
because i do.
i like old hymns too,
so i think that makes up for the bad 80's music.
